    • This is the other sign  parking sign 1a.pdf
    • 4 means that they need to name and then tell the people who will be affected that there has been an application made, what the application relates to (specificially "whether it relates to the exercise of the court’s jurisdiction in relation to P’s property and affairs, or P’s personal welfare, or to both) and what this application contains (i.e what order they want made as a result of it) 5 just means that teh court think it is important that the relevant people are notified 7 means that the court need more information to make the application, hence they have then made the order of paragraph 1 which requires the applicant to do more - this means the court can't make a decision with the current information, and need more, hence paragraph one of the order is for the applicant to do more. paragraph 3 of the order gives you the ability to have it set aside, although if it was made in january you are very late. Were you notiifed of the application or not?    
    • These are the photos of the signs. At the entrance there is a 7h free sign. On some bays there is a permit sign.  Also their official website is misleading as it implies all parking is free.  I can't be certain of the exact parking bay I was in that day, and there was no PCN ticket on my car and no other evidence was provided.  parking sign 2.pdf
    • Hi, In my last post I mentioned I had received an email from SS who were asking me to hand over the keys to my mother’s flat so they could pass them to the Law firm who have been appointed court of protection to access, secure and insure my mother’s property.  Feeling this, all quickly getting out of my hands I emailed ss requesting proof of this. I HAVEN’T HEARD BACK FROM SS.  Yesterday, I received an email (with attached court of protection order) from the Law Firm confirming this was correct (please see below a copy of this).  After reading the court of protection order I do have some concerns about it:   (a)   I only found out yesterday, the Law firm had been appointed by the court back in January.  Up until now, I have not received any notification regarding this.  (b)   Section 2   - States I am estranged from my mother.  This is NOT CORRECT    The only reason I stepped back from my mother was to protect myself from the guy (groomer) who had befriended her & was very aggressive towards me & because of my mother’s dementia she had become aggressive also.  I constantly tried to warned SS about this guy's manipulative behaviour towards my mother and his increasing aggressiveness towards me (as mentioned in previous posts).  Each time I was ignored.  Instead, SS encouraged his involvement with my mother – including him in her care plans and mental health assessments.   I was literally pushed out because I feared him and my mother’s increasing aggression towards me. Up until I stepped back, I had always looked after my mother and since her admission to the care home, I visit regularly.   .(c)    Sections -  4, 5 and 7  I am struggling to understand these as I don’t have a legal background.  I was wondering if there is anyone who might be able to explain what they mean.  It’s been a horrendous situation where I had to walk away from my mother at her most vulnerable because of; ss (not helping), scammer and groomer. I have no legal background, nor experience in highly manipulative people or an understanding of how the SS system operates, finding myself isolated, scared and powerless to the point I haven’t collected my personal belongings and items for my mother’s room in the care home.  Sadly, the court has only had heard one version of this story SS’s, and based their decision on that. My mother’s situation and the experience I have gone through could happen to anyone who has a vulnerable parent.    If anyone any thoughts on this much appreciated.  Thank you. ______________________________________________________  (Below is the Court of Protection Order)  COURT OF PROTECTION                                                                                                                                                                                   No xxx  MENTAL CAPACITY ACT 2005 In the matter of Name xxx ORDER Made by  Depty District Judge At xxx Made on xxx Issued on 18 January 2024  WHEREAS  1.     xxx Solicitors, Address xxx  ("Applicant”) has applied for an order under the Mental Capacity Act 2005.  2.     The Court notes (my mother) is said to be estranged from all her three children and only one, (me) has been notified.  3.     (Me) was previously appointed as Atorney for Property and Affairs for (my mother).  The Exhibity NAJ at (date) refers to (me) and all replacement Attorneys are now officially standing down.  4.     Pursuant to Rule 9.10 of the Court of Protection Rules 2017 and Practice Direction 9B the Applicant 2must seek to identify at least three persons who are likely to have an interest in being notified that an application has been issues.”  The children of (my mother), and any other appointed attorneys are likely to have an interest in the application, because of the nature of relationship to (my mother).  5.     The Court considers that the notification requirements are an important safeguard for the person in respect of whom an order is sought.  6.     The Court notes that it is said that the local authority no longer has access to (my mother’s) Property.  7.     Further information is required for the Court to determine the application.  IT IS ORDERED THAT  Within 28 days of the issue date this order, the Applicant shall file a form COP24 witness statement confirming that the other children of (my mother) and any replacement attorneys have been notified of the application and shall confirm their name, address, and date upon which those persons were notified.  If the Applicant wishes the Court to dispense with any further notification, they should file a COP9 and COP24 explaining, what steps (if any) have been taken to attempt notification and why notification should be dispensed with.   Pending the determination of the application to appoint a deputy for (my mother), the Applicant is authorised to take such steps as are proportionate and necessary to access, secure and insure the house and property of (my mother).   This order was made without a hearing and without notice.  Any person affected by this order may apply within 21 days of the date on which the order was served to have the order set aside or varied pursuant to Rule 13.4 of the Court of Protection Rules 2017 (“the Rules”).  Such application must be made on Form COP9 and in accordance with Part 10 Rules.              
    • Unless I've got an incorrect copy of the relevant regulation: The PCN is only deemed to have arrived two days after dispatch "unless the contrary is proved" in which case date of delivery does matter (not just date of posting) and I would like clarification of the required standard of proof. It seems perhaps this hasn't been tested. Since post is now barcoded for the Post Office's own tracking purposes perhaps there is some way I can get that evidence from the Post Office...

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

I was taken to court yesterday by Lowell who claim that I owe contract ending charges with 3 mobile. I’ve never had a 3 mobile account.

 

I did a N244 form prior to the hearing but really didn’t know what I was doing but I said that this wasn’t my account etc and asked for proof it was my debt. Lowell just concentrated on the fact I was out of time for replying and filing questions?

 

Now the paperwork wasn’t received as I had my son 10 weeks early and practically lived at the hospital for 6 plus months as he was in intensive care I then went to my parents house to receive support and then isolated there due to COVID.

 

the debt they are chasing is for a mobile account with 3 opened in my name when I would have been 17. The address they have shown on a 3 mobile bill is not my address and never has been my address.

 

I have asked what account the payments were taken from as it wasn’t my bank but they never produced anything nor did they produce the original contract allegedly taken out by myself. Court hearing was by telephone yesterday and I frankly have no idea what happened.

 

I explained my case there was a lot of talking between Lowell and the judge and all I can gather is the judge asked them about costs they said none and then the judge said dismissed and then it went quiet and the phone went off.

 

presume I lost the case

can I re instate my N244 properly this time?

What can I do?

 

Also they couldn’t have credit checked this account as that’s not my address, also the phone account was active for 4 years and it seems this debt is an early termination fee

… and did you pay a fee for the N244?

Link to post
Share on other sites

I didnt pay for the N244 I used a form for costs to be paid , I filled in the N244 to dispute the CCJ as this wasnt my phone account opened or used by myself I asked for the judgement to be set aside as this wasnt my debt

 

I also stated on the N244 form that I had previously asked Lowell ( which I did) to show proof of the original account that was opened and what proof that had been used to open the account, and which bank account was the mobile phone being paid from as none of these would relate to me,

 

Lowell did state on the reply to the N244 that the original agreement was not available in either verbal or printed form but it was irrelevant as I was out of time for a judgement to be set aside and it shouldnt be allowed to be set aside by the judge as I would have received and should have replied to their correspondence

so you'd already got a CCJ by default and this was a later episode, to set that aside, but you sort of bodged it all and got it wrong, did you file a detailed witness statement with the N244 ?

Yes exactly that, no I didnt do a detailed witness statement as I have not a clue what I am doing and I was really tied up ( premature baby in intensive care )

 

can I refile the N244 or can I take a case against Lowell or 3 mobile as this isnt me who had the phone contract,

 

just to add the costs they are trying to recover are a final bill of around £100 and an early termination fee it seems that the phone contract was held for around 4 years and it must have been paid from a bank account that wasnt in my name, for all these years

It's very difficult for us to understand what stage of the court process you're at from your explanations.  I think what you are saying is -

 

1.  Lowell sent you letters demanding this money.

2.  They then started legal action and you got a claimform from the court with their Particulars of Claim.

3.  You didn't defend in time.

4.  They won by default and you got a CCJ.

5.  Yesterday you were trying to get the CCJ set aside.

 

Is that right?

We could do with some help from you.

yes it is

 

yes you can file another N244 but you must do it properly with an accompanying witness statement and exhibits/evidence proving you never resided at that address and the debt is ID theft etc.

 

you don't need to go anywhere near refuting what lowells are claiming etc, nor is the claim anything to do with o2 anymore, they sold the debt and washed their hands of it. 

 

all you simply need to do is provide proof it can't have been you.

 

there are lots of mobile claimform threads here already with examples of WS's to see the format etc.

 

i'm sure @andyorch will pop in later and cross i's and dot T's.

 

for the minute, go get reading here on CAG upon what to do and how, don't do anything further without checking here 1st your N244 is filled out correctly and you WS is suitable,
